Super Eagles Head Coach, Gernot Rohr says has explained that he does not use Nigeria Professional Football League players for national team matches because they are not on the same level as their foreign-based colleagues.
With the exception of Heartland’s Football goalkeeper, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, League players barely get a look-in when the Coach names his rosters for Super Eagles matches.
The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF and Minister of Sports have questioned the choice of Coach Rohr not to call Home-based players stars and it was stipulated in his new contract that he has to live in Nigeria, so he can monitor players in the domestic championship with a view to inviting them to the national team.
However, the Coach had argued that the few good players in the local league finally end up in the European Leagues, saying because they are not good enough and he better invites the ones playing in Europe.

Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon denied Lovro Mayer and Bruno Petkovic from the spot, before Carvajal cheekily chipped home to earn La Roja their first trophy since Euro 2012 and break Croatian hearts.
Zlatko Dalic’s side, runners-up at the World Cup in 2018 and third in 2022, have never won a major trophy and were hoping Nations League success would cap a glittering international career for captain Luka Modric.
The victory is a confidence boost for new Spain coach Luis de la Fuente after heavy criticism in March after a defeat by Scotland in Euro 2024 qualifier. It also avenged their 2021 final defeat by France.
On the pitch Spain made the early running, with Gavi drilling narrowly wide after pressing furiously to win the ball back.
Croatia had the momentum and Ivan Perisic twice tested Simon with headers, which the Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper fielded well.
Despite 14 goals in the three preceeding games, the first half finished goalless, just as in the prior two Nations League finals, won by Portugal and France in 2019 and 2021 respectively.

The proposed Control of Infectious Diseases Bill 2020 is a violation of Article 6 of the 2005 UNESCO Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights.
At its 32nd session in October 2003, the General Conference considered that it was “opportune and desirable to set universal standards in the field of bioethics with due regard for human dignity and human rights and freedoms, in the spirit of cultural pluralism inherent in bioethics.
Subsequently, the Declaration was adopted by UNESCO’s General Conference on October 19th, 2005, and it supports the doctrine of informed consent, being an element of global medical ethics and bioethics.
It stipulates that any preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic medical intervention is only to be conducted with free and informed consent of the person concerned, based on adequate information.
On the contrary, Article 6 of the UNESCO Declaration stresses the importance of consent on the issue of vaccination and other activities that relate to human rights.
